[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] truetigger:
Hi There,

Just wondering what experiences you all have had with pouches and the Xperia T. Can anyone recomend any? Have had a look at a few on amazon. Quite like the idea of some of the "pull tab" pouches but was wondering if these will wear away at the bottom of the Xperia T and leave marks after a few months? Anyone got any experiences?

Many thanks,

Jonathan
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
I've had one for my old nokia 5800. The pull-tab left some small marks on the back of the phone. Btw the finish on it was much better than the one on the XT, so I expect the sony to wear down much faster. Also, the reason why I never bought one again is that it doesn't protect the phone when it needs most (in your hand). I had an urgent call one time, so I pulled out the phone in a rush and dropped it. Guess what happened.

I'd rather get a silicone/hard case if I were you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] truetigger:
Hmm ok, the only thing I was thinking about a pouch is that it protects the screen, especially when in your pocket (which seems to be when it falls out for me). The other thing is that when I am holding my phone, I like how it feels in my hand, I like how thin it feels and I guess you loose that with a silicon case. But alas, I don't want my new shiny xperia T to get dented and scratched.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
I wouldn't worry about the screen that much since it is covered in that "shatter proof film" that you can remove and apply a proper protective foil. Or you can apply a foil over the film if you want to keep the shatter proofing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidian666:
I already tried to post this on JKays own thread but I have too few posts to post there. So here goes:

I have just 1 problem: I can't use home button to answer calls. I mean it answers the call but as soon as I answer the lockscreen goes on and if I want to use the ongoing call screen for something I have to unlock it first. This is really inconvenient since when I answer the call and the lockscreen goes on the proximity sensor doesn't work and the screen stays on unless I unlock the screen.

Maybe I just have a wrong setting, but I have tried everything and can't get it to work as it does without this mod.

Hope someone undestands something of my ramblings ;)

Wanted to show you guys a mod I just finished on my phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36994299&postcount=242

I will post instructions for anyone that wants to know how to do it. I just need a better camera to take the pictures with.

This is pretty convenient for females that use larger purses to store their phones as well as for leaving it laying about in a dark room. I always end up searching for my phone in the dark on or around my bed. It keeps me from having to get up to turn on a light. It also works even when the phone is turned off. I have not seen any extra drain on the battery either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE

Parts list.

2 wires of any color from a USB cable about 6 inches in length. You will not use all of the length but it helps to have more than needed and to cut them to fit right. You will need them to be thin. I used black (Negative) and white (Positive).

100ohm resistor. Will take a touch of brightness away but the mod works like a charm.

3.5 mm LED

Wire cutters

Dremel tool

Electrical tape.

You will need to cut the hook for the strap and dremel it down. This is where the LED will sit. put electrical tape in place. THIS IS IMPORTANT. This area will have exposed aluminum.

Also, as seen in the second photo, you will need to cut the small section out to allow for the wires to fit properly.

Pic 3 shows where I soldered my wires for power. looks horrible, but the flux is not all that great. Your positive lead is on the right and the negative is on the left as shown in the picture. Nothing is soldered to the middle lead.

In the 4th picture you see the resistor. That is the only place I could fit the resistor because I did not have any SMD caps that I could use. It will be places in the little crevice under the vibration motor.

You will want to run the wires under the SD cradle to make sure they fit well.

I cannot say exactly where to put the 3.5 mm hole in the battery cover as each will be slightly different. I got lucky with my placement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Surprised no one has said anything to this yet.

Looks really cool and interesting. I might take you up on this depending on the difficulty and amount of time I have!!

Hopefully you can find a better camera to take pictures with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Yeah. Me too. XDA has been dead the last few days. I have also seen the flow of assholes and idiots come through, so that explains some of the silence. I will have a better camera in the next few days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bloopblah:
Does the LED changes into different colors? I may look into doing it also. :thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
That's some clean work. I too am interested in the mod, whenever I feel brave enough or have the time, I'll probably do it haha.

Very clean work though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Not this LED. I would either need a tri-LED or a dual and a pin-out of the entire mobo as well as a reason to have it change colors. The wiring needed and extra components would probably not fit though...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Thank you. I have specialized in cosmetic mods on many things from game consoles to computers to phones. I may offer a service here to do work if a MOD would allow it and people were interested.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
Good work man. That is freaking cool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Thanks man. I will be posting instructions tomorrow evening with pictures.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Can't wait! I think the tri-color LED thing could pretty sweet. As long as you have the white LED light, then the other colors are just for convenience :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Ran into a little problem... Apparently 3.7 volts is too much for the led to handle for more than a few days. So I am calling in some help with this. I broke my voltmeter so I can't test for what resistors/diodes I need to keep the current down and keep the LED on. I need it to be at 3.3v for the LED. My best bet is to use a SMD as it is small and will fit perfectly within the phone. Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Fixed it. I ended up going through resistors with trial and error. Ultimately came to a 1 OHM resistor. Had to completely rework the wires in the unit. I had to sacrifice just a tiny bit of brightness but it is still very effective. Also, it does not put off the heat like it did without the resistor. I am very confident that this LED will last. I will be posting pictures tonight. And a simple walk through and parts list.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
Interested in them pictures lol. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
That's a pretty neat mod. Did you wire it so the LED is on constantly, or is it tied to the front notification LED?

Also according to a LED calculator I found here, you only need about a 22ohm 1/8W resistor for a LED with a forward current of 20ma (most 3&5mm led bulbs.) Since you used a 100ohm resistor, that would explain your loss in brightness.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
It is wired to stay on constantly even if the phone is powered off. As long as the battery is inserted and has some juice, it will be lit. I am not sure if I have a 22ohm resistor. The loss of brightness is not too bad. Like I said, it is still very effective.

EDIT: I actually used a 1ohm resistor if I remember correctly. I don't know why I put 100. I will fix that. The calculator is telling me that is what I needed to use anyways. I will double check when I have my phone apart again and am taking pictures for the tutorial.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:

Hi,

I have been trying to flash a custom rom made for Xperia X8 devices to my X10 mini pro but the touch doesn't works after flashing..

Is there a way by which I can modify the flashable zip so that touch works.

I have done this much so far..

1. Downloaded X8 rom and unzipped using root explorer.

2. Replaced system/app, system/framework and system/lib folders of my working rom with the X8 rom folders and zipped file and flashed. This worked but I think this will not give desired result completely.

When I directly flashing Xperia X8 rom, touch does'nt works..which is understandable due to resolution issues..so my question is which other folders I need to modify from the X8 zip. Is it going to work if I lower the density from 160 to 120 in build.prop and then flash..

If there is any link which can make me learn porting roms and understanding the importance of different sub folders in a rom zip that will be helpful.

Sorry if I sounded dump here but I want to learn things..

I have a non-rooted Nexus 7 16GB that I just got last month for Christmas. I've realized that from time to time it would just randomly shut off on me and reboot itself showing me that Nexus boot logo. Recently it has been shutting off mostly when I play games. When I played Modern Combat 4 for a good 15 minutes it randomly restarted, making me have to restart a whole entire mission. Now when I try to use Gameboid,(a GBA emulator) and play a few games on it would do the same thing and restart itself again. I have avast! antivirus always running in the background, could this be messing things up? or do I have another issue here?

Random reboots have been happening since android 1.0 , I know
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Alas, not with the frequency and relative consistency that's been seen with 4.2. The only workarounds for the bug that el Goog inadvertently introduced is to either revert back to 4.1.x or to disable a core functionality of the operating system.

The bug gives the os the overall feeling of beta software, although it is indeed plausible that it did not rear its head during internal testing. It was only after HD Widgets received widespread blame for the reboots that it was looked into and confirmed to be a problem caused by the os itself.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fushla:
AW: [Q] Why is my Nexus 7 randomly restarting?

Oh Lord I need to take a deep breath before typing...

So, I never had such problems since froyo until now, with 4.2...

And I do not understand people that say, "oh well, unlock, root, install this ROM, that kernel, download 50 apps to improve your system and to decrease a few problems".

My point is, an OS should be solid. Without having to do a lot of hacking to get it working properly. And it was, until 4.2 ..

I threw Google more than 900€ into their throat.

And all I want is to have a solid system, with at least less flaws that it has now. Everything was fine, and I do understand when apps cause problems, or if android has a few flaws, that's totally okay and understandable. But this? This is pure sh*t.

And it's screwed from Google to let us wait so long for a fix.

I mean we'll see a fix maybe in may, that's it.

And yes, I know this is a hacking forum. And yes I do know that these are nexus devices. But I never heard of a "oh well, you found bugs? Then gtfo and search fixes in xda and other forums" OS.

I don't want to be rude, I may sound so, but I feel like no one understands me. I think people are happy to be abused.

Yes, I don't have 0 problems with rooting etc. I'm pretty familiar with this since 3 years. But I honestly, especially the nexus 7, which is for entertaining purpose, shouldn't require to let xda devs erase the problems.

And yes, Google wants to create normal phones and tablets. Not for devs only anymore. So I don't understand them.

I'm pissed with 4.2, and disappointed.

But I'll stay with android, and just hope that Google doesn't screw up the next update, with a size of 1mb which fixes just the Bluetooth bug...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infobits:
After buying a new Nexus 7 32GB tablet and experiencing the random reboots I too was feeling let down. I had begun searching and researching for answers and fixes but Google seems to be hiding and remaining mum to the public on this. It seems to be kept low key and not advertised in the media much compared to so many actual users reporting the rebooting issues on all nexus devices.

Anyway, in my analysis thus far of the cause of the reboots (from viewing my own devices debug crash logs) it seems that the random resets and rebooting issues are caused by incompatible apps. That is apps that were developed and designed under older previous versions of Android OS that are not quite 100% running correctly on the latest Android OS' v4.2.x. When the app happens to reach a point where it passes an argument (variable) in the wrong way or wrong place, then the OS errors out, crashes and reboots itself to clear things up. This in itself is a flaw in the Android OS design where it should have caught the error condition and handled it gracefully instead of crashing the entire OS and rebooting. Thus, Google developers must fix the spots in the OS where these error conditions are occurring and wrap them in a java try{} catch{} block to catch the error and terminate the offending app cleanly rather than passing the error all the way up the chain to the critical OS error handlers that will reboot the system,.

I have noticed that a hacked winamp pro app was causing random reboots on my Nexus 7 tablet. I have removed that app now and will see what other apps might show up in the error logs if I still get random reboots. My advise based on what I found out so far, is to try removing apps until you find out which apps were causing your reboots. It can be any old app, so we all have to isolate which old apps are not behaving well on new v4.2.x OS.

Update: I also posted more updated info of my findings in the Nexus 10 forum here:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liamwli:
It is possible (albeit very slightly) that the file didn't flash correctly, but did corrupt the bootloader just enough to stop it being unlocked/booting into recovery.

If you can't issue the 'fastboot oem unlock' command then it could be for 2 reasons:

1. It is already unlocked (try typing 'fastboot oem lock' and see if it re-locks')

2. The bootloader is slightly corrupt.

Hopefully it is the first one ;)
